Clubhouse’s New Feature Could Help Young Black Artists Deliver High-Quality Performances

Clubhouse has added a new “music mode” on its app – giving musicians who play live on the social network their own special set of tools to optimize sound quality.

The feature will hit iOS first before rolling out to Android.

The company said the new feature would allow users to “broadcast with high quality and great stereo sound” — giving listeners a rich listening experience.

It added that music mode will also make it possible to hook pro-level audio equipment like mixing boards and mics into Clubhouse.

This is the second investment the app has made relating to audio.

Back in August, Clubhouse made another investment in audio quality with spatial audio, a feature that gives listeners a sense that speakers in one audio room are speaking from different physical locations.

The update could help support young artists to deliver quality performances to their listeners and – of course – potentially bag a record deal.

How to?

To turn on music mode as a speaker, tap the three dots in the upper right corner and choose “audio quality” then select “music.” 

Clubhouse’s replayable clips will also support the higher quality audio in their recordings. Beyond music mode, Clubhouse is moving its search bar to the top of the feed, and users can now wave at each other through the search bar on iOS.
